L’Oréal Sable Lame, Pin Up Pink Colour Riche Monos Eyeshadow | Review

Today’s post is going to be a review of the L’Oréal Colour Riche Monos Eyeshadow, I have two shades Pin Up Pink and Sable Lame.

At first I also had two more shades a kaki green (Kaki Repstyle) and a rosy brown (Over The Taupe) but I gave them to my sister Claire because I wasn’t using them, plus, green doesn’t look good on me.

These eyeshadows come in different formulas: Matt, Smokey, Lumiere and Nude at least the italian version. L’Oréal names products differently in Europe but the eyeshadow’s formula is the same, so if you like a shade, I’d say go for it.

Here you can Sable Lame and here you can get Pin Up Pink, the price changes depending from were you buy them but they are indeed super affordable.

Sable Lame

PACKAGING

The packaging is very cheap. It’s quite sturdy but the gold rubbed of in some parts and there is still tape glued to it from the security tag.

I also hate that the come as single shadows, although it is convenient for the price, I never end up using them because I tent to reach for my palettes way more.

TEXTURE

I don’t know if you can see it but the texture of this shadow is super unique (it is part of the Nude line, which is more creamy) it’s kind of moussy and squishy, so I find that it works better applied with your fingers.

This might work for a light shade like this, but it gets difficoult if you are playing with darker shades. It still works with a brush but it’ way harder to use.

Overall I don’t think they layer well so you better use no more than two shades.

PIGMENTATION & SWATCH

This shade has a medium pigmentation and it’s quite sheer and glittery which makes it perfect to use in the center of the lid or on top of a dark shade.

It mashes perfectly with your skin and other colours and it gives the most beautiful wet reflex.

APPLICATION & LASTING POWER

As I said it works better when you use your finger, it’s very easy to blend and it layers really well.

I never use eyeshadow without primer that being said it lasts 6 hours without creasing and then it starts fading.

I also hate that the come as single shadows, although it is convenient for the price, I never end up using them because I tent to reach for my palettes way more.

TEXTURE

As you can see this shadow looks different, this is part of the Lumiere line, which is not moussy like the first one and it definitely feels like a regular eyeshadow.

It is a bit powdery but it doesn’t fall on the cheecks.

PIGMENTATION & SWATCH

This shade has a medium pigmentation and it’s really shimmery, it looks really pretty and it brightens the eye a lot.

The shade is a stunning peachy pink with golden reflex.

APPLICATION & LASTING POWER

When you apply it with a brush like I did for the photo you can see how sheer it is, I used a fluffy brush to sweep it all over the lid. You can pack more colour when you use a flat brush but it won’t get super opaque.

I never use eyeshadow without primer so that being said it lasts 6 hours without creasing and then it starts fading.

RATINGS:

Colour: 9/10

Longevity: 7/10

Application: 6/10

Texture: 7/10

Pigmentation: 7/10

Packaging: 6/10

GRADE: B-

This eyeshadows are really pretty especially if you buy a fun colour to use as an accent, unfortunately the fact that you have to use your finger and that you can’t layer them too much it’s a bit of a let down. I’m not the biggest fan of single eyeshadows because I tent to reach for palettes more but if you see a colour you like they are worth the purchase, obviously the affordable price is a good incentive.
